Stephen Crane and the mass media
No full textThe influence of European painting and literature in Stephen Crane’s pre-Red Badge of Courage work has been overstated by most twentieth century critics. Stephen Crane’s portrayals of New York poverty in the 1890s was profoundly shaped by the more immediate influence of the American mass media, specifically by religious anti-slum tracts, the documentary photographs of Jacob Riis and Alfred Stieglitz, the “new” journalism that blurred the distinction between the newspaper and the novel, and color print advertising. Maggie: a Girl from the Streets and his freelance newspaper articles written between 1892 and 1894 provide ample evidence of Crane’s participation in the sensational mass media, which often transformed urban poverty into middle-class entertainment.M.A.Includes bibliographical referencesby Adam Broc

Stephen Adam: Chromophony (1993)
No full text"The imaginary title loosely translates from the Greek as 'coloured voice'. The human voice provides a significant range of sound types for electroacoustic transformation, (d)evolution, or colouring. This piece takes samples from that palette of possibilities, focussing on the utterances and sustained textures which maintain links with the human voice, even under radical modification. The piece contrasts discrete and continuous elements in various ways. At the lowest formal level, the pseudo-linguistic solo utterances with which the piece opens stand in opposition to the sustained, unvoiced and 'massed' sound textures whose emotive and morphological attributes are far less clearly defined. At a higher formal level, the (discrete) episodes in the early stages of the work which incidentally outline a symbolic transition from 'higher' to 'lower' life form give way to a predominantly transformational (continuous) motion. At a little over halfway through the piece, this trajectory is reiterated; its commencement is marked by the 'explosion of plosives' which gradually merge and subside to reveal a single, and substantially time stretched, utterance. While this section reinforces the motion from discrete to continuous sound events, it simultaneously mirrors the overall trajectory of solo voice to dense texture evident in the first half of the piece. With only a few exceptions, the sounds used in the piece are of vocal origin and, in order of frequency of appearance, are the voices of Joan Pollock, Trish Anderson and myself." -- Stephen Ada

Radical Medievalism:Pierce Egan the Younger's Robin Hood, Wat Tyler, and Adam Bell
No full textPierce Egan the Younger has always been assumed to have been a conservative author. Yet recent research by Chris R. Vanden Bossche has highlighted his support for Chartism. This article develops Vanden Bossche's radical reading of Egan's "Wat Tyler" and applies it to two of his other medievalist novels, "Robin Hood" and "Adam Bell"
Opportunity cost neglect attenuates the effect of choices on preferences
No full textThe idea that choices alter preferences has been widely studied in psychology, yet prior research has focused primarily on choices for which all alternatives were salient at the time of choice. Opportunity costs capture the value of the best forgone alternative and should be considered as part of any decision process, yet people often neglect them. How does the salience of opportunity costs at the time of choice influence subsequent evaluations of chosen and forgone options? In three experiments, we found that there was a larger postchoice spread between evaluations of focal options and opportunity costs when opportunity costs were explicit at the time of choice than when they remained implici
